reference point

• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• an object's distance and direction from a reference point
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position
• a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time
• a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it

position

• an object's distance and direction from a reference point
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position
• a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time
• a push or a pull on an object

displacement

• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• an object's distance and direction from a reference point
• a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time
• a push or a pull on an object

acceleration

• a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• an object's distance and direction from a reference point
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position
• a push or a pull on an object

Newton's 1st law

• a law that states an object at rest will stay at rest, unless a force acts on the object
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• an object's distance and direction from a reference point
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position
• a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time

Newton's 2nd law

• a law that states that the acceleration on the object divided by the object's mass
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• an object's distance and direction from a reference point
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position
• a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time

Newton's 3rd law

• a law that states when an object applies a force, but the force is in the opposite direction
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• an object's distance and direction from a reference point
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position
• a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time
